Would 100% use this garage again - Great customer service and made me feel very welcoming within the reception area - John was delightful and very friendly - Work was carried out a lot quicker than i expected and the quality of the work was perfect - very competitive pricing and chose because it was local to work - Thanks John & Robert and most of all your team for the work

The 50,000 miles service was carried on time and on budget, with recommendations to consider new brakes pads on the front within 1500 miles and cracked tyres on the rear were noticed, consider renewal sooner rather than later, however no pressure tactics were applied and would certianly recommend them to anyone wanting a similar service.

Just had a great experience with Woodhorn Motors, Quick and efficient, honest pricing and friendly service, would highly recommend. We will certainly be back.

I would 100% recommend Woodhorn Motors. I was a little bit apprehensive being a young female taking my car to be serviced for the first time, but everyone was friendly and helpful, and really put me at ease. When I picked the car up, I was informed about an issue they had found while carrying out the service and told how much it would cost to fix/how long it would take if I was to book it in at a later date.
I will absolutely be going back to Woodhorn Motors after such a positive experience.

Hopefully our quick fire set of FAQ’s have helped answer some of your immediate questions about clutch replacement in Morpeth for Ladas.

However, if you would like to learn about what is involved in the technical side of the job we have produced the following guide.

We have also included key information on how the system works, what you should look out for if the clutch is faulty as well as everything involved with replacing a clutch.

Clutch replacement is one of the most common repairs carried out by mechanics in the UK and Morpeth as the nature of the part means it will naturally degrade over time, regardless of how much care you take or precautions you put in place.

The rate of degradation will alter from car model to car model as each are designed differently with some cars having significantly superior parts.

However, the way somebody drives a Lada is a huge factor in how a clutch performs. We will go onto this in more detail further down the guide and will demonstrate what you should be doing to elongate the lifespan of your clutch.

What is a clutch?

The Clutch is the part of yourLada engine which is responsible for engaging and disengaging the power transmission.

It’s a vital part of an engine and is essentially there to connect two parts of the system that can’t make a car move unless they're connected. Clutches engage and disengage two rotating shafts which then allow your Lada to move.

When you press the clutch down and move your Lada into gear, you are connecting the two shafts and transitioning from one gear to the next.

Its an essential function which allows a car to move through gears effectively and efficiently.

Automatic cars have an in-built clutch which takes over the control of this interchange, this means that the car itself decides what gear you should be in depending on the driving conditions regardless of the driver.

What are the signs of a damaged clutch?

There are a variety of signs to look out for when it comes to an struggling clutch as the performance of your Lada will be noticeably affected as well as your ability to change gears.

Here are the most common issues which will be caused by a damaged clutch.

Slipping Clutch

Slipping is one of the most common clutch issues and can cause a drop in performance, as well as damage, if not diagnosed in time.

The things you need to watch out for are;

Your Lada struggles to move forward while moving at a low speed in a high gear.

Your Lada struggles to get up hills in a high gear

Your Lada struggles to accelerate or finds it difficult to tow a trailer

The problem with a slipping clutch is that it will only get worse as time goes on. Slippage increases the heat generated in between the two shafts and the hotter this area becomes the less able it is to maintain its grip, therefore increasing the slippage. The greater the slippage the greater the heat generated.

So it’s clear to see that this is an issue that will only get worse if left without attention.

Clutch Chatter

Chattering occurs when the clutch is being used and a grabbing or jerking can be felt in the Lada.

If you are hearing strange noises like growls or squeals, this can be another sign of a problem with a clutch, as vibrations within the part would cause such sounds.

If you hear any strange noises coming from your Lada, have it looked at immediately as a fault with your clutch could cause serious danger while you are driving.

How long will clutch replacement take?

Replacing a clutch can take as little as a few hours or as longs as a few days depending on the car and garage.

Many cars will have easy access to the clutch and so replacing the part will be straightforward, however others will be more complex and will need other parts removing before the mechanic can get to the clutch.

How much will a new clutch cost?

Once more, a new clutch will cost different amounts depending on the car. You could be paying £250 or £600 from car to car or garage to garage, that is why it is so important to get a range of quotes from garages in Morpeth.
